Zinc Picolinate 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Zinc is a mineral that is present in all your cells, and your body needs it in order produce the genetic material known as DNA. Zinc also helps your immune system detect and destroy harmful bacteria and viruses, and also aids wound healing. If you’re expecting a baby, your required zinc intake increases to support the healthy growth and development of your unborn child.

Common dietary sources of zinc include meat, seafood, dairy, produce, whole grain breads, and whole grain cereals. Your body is better able to absorb zinc from animal sources than from plant sources. In most cases, it should be possible for you to obtain all the zinc you need through your daily diet. However, if you fail to eat a nutritious diet, or avoid animal products due to being a vegetarian or vegan, you may end up with low zinc levels.

Since zinc affects many processes within the body, being deficient in it isn’t associated with a single distinct symptom. Common symptoms of zinc deficiency include a diminished sense of smell and taste, slow wound healing, roughening of the skin, hair loss, deformed nails, a low libido in men, and lethargy. If your zinc levels are too low, you may experience serious problems with your immune system. Severe diarrhea, loss of night vision, and severe hair loss are also possible with zinc deficiency.

It’s difficult to measure zinc levels using standard laboratory tests, because zinc is distributed throughout your body. Your doctor may take a blood sample to measure your zinc levels, although the results of this test are not always reliable.

A supplement like Allergy Research Group’s Zinc Picolinate Capsules can be used to treat low levels of zinc or suspected zinc deficiencies. This supplement provides an easily-absorbed form of the mineral.
